Walk On The Ocean - Toad The Wet Sprocket

                         A D A                B                F#m D  A
We spotted the ocean ...... at the head of the trail
        B                    F#m   D  A            A/G#     B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
But where are we going ....... we're so far away
                  A          D  A         B              F#5 G#5 A5
Somebody told me ........ that this is the place
            B                 A/F#  D  A         A/G#          B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
Where everything's better ....... and everything's safe

/C# /B /A-/G# F#m G#m-A  A    A/G# A/F#  E... E9-E B
Walk on the ocean . . . . . . . . step on the stone
                        F#m   G#m-A              /G# /F#     E... E9-E B
Flesh becomes water . . . . . . . . wood becomes bone

                        A D A             B                    F#m D  A
A half an hour later ....... we packed up our things
        B                    F#m   D  A         A/G#          B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
We said we'd send letters ....... and all of those little things
                               A   D  A                 B                    F#5 G#5 A5
We knew we were lying ....... but they smiled just the same
     B                      A/F#  D  A       A/G#        B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
It seemed they'd already ....... forgotten we came
/C# /B /A-/G# F#m G#m-A  A    A/G# A/F#  E... E9-E B
Walk on the ocean . . . . . . . . step on the stone
                        F#m   G#m-A              /G# /F#     E... E9-E B
Flesh becomes water . . . . . . . . wood becomes bone
/C# /B /A-/G# F#m G#m-A  A    A/G# A/F#  E... E9-E B
Walk on the ocean . . . . . . . . step on the stone
                        F#m   G#m-A              /G# /F#     E... E9-E B
Flesh becomes water . . . . . . . . wood becomes bone

F#m   G#m-A /G# /F# E E9-E  B.....  (x2)

                           A D A                                B                    F#m D  A
Now back at the homestead ...... where the air makes you choke
            B                  F#m        D  A         A/G#      B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
Where people don't know you ....... and trust is a joke
                          A          D  A         B                  F#5 G#5 A5
Don't even have pictures ....... just memories to hold
               B                 A/F#  D  A             A/G#              B
It grows sweeter each season ...... as we slowly grow old

Walk On Spaghetti - Goad The Pet Rosset

                         A D A                B                F#m D  A
On top of spaghetti ...... all covered with cheese
        B                    F#m   D  A            A/G#     B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
I lost my poor meatball ....... when somebody sneezed
                  A          D  A         B              F#5 G#5 A5
It rolled off the table ........ and onto the floor
            B                 A/F#  D  A         A/G#          B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
And then my poor meatball ....... rolled out of the door

/C# /B /A-/G# F#m G#m-A  A    A/G# A/F#  E... E9-E B
It rolled in the garden . . . . . . . . and under a bush
                        F#m   G#m-A              /G# /F#     E... E9-E B
And then my poor meatball . . . . . . . . was nothing but mush

                        A D A             B                    F#m D  A
The mush was as tasty ....... as tasty could be
        B                    F#m   D  A         A/G#          B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
And through the next summer ....... it grew into me
                               A   D  A                 B                    F#5 G#5 A5
I soon became covered ....... with beautiful moss
     B                      A/F#  D  A       A/G#        B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
I grew great big meatballs ....... and tomato based sauce
/C# /B /A-/G# F#m G#m-A  A    A/G# A/F#  E... E9-E B
If you eat spaghetti. . . . . . . . all covered with cheese
                        F#m   G#m-A              /G# /F#     E... E9-E B
Hold onto your meatball . . . . . . . . whenever you sneeze
/C# /B /A-/G# F#m G#m-A  A    A/G# A/F#  E... E9-E B
When treading the ocean . . . . . . . . or stepping on stones
                        F#m   G#m-A              /G# /F#     E... E9-E B
Avoid mushy meatballs . . . . . . . . stop making us groan

F#m   G#m-A /G# /F# E E9-E  B.....  (x2)

                           A D A                                B        F#m D  A
On top of spaghetti ...... all covered with cheese
            B                  F#m        D  A         A/G#      B  B-B4 B4 B4-B
Now in a container ....... away from your sneeze
                          A          D  A         B                  F#5 G#5 A5
It's safe in the fridge now ....... and except for some mold
               B                 A/F#  D  A             A/G#             B
It grows sweeter each season ...... as it slowly grows old
